You might want to try the OSDev Forums as they have more specialized knowledge.
However, you might want to read this wiki page first, as it voices some of the issues faced in using Python (and other languages which are usually interpreted rather than compiled) for OS-Dev. I would also read all of the wiki pages listed here before proceeding at all, as they will give you a better idea of just how huge an undertaking this is.

Nod to Schol-R-LEA but the link looks dead here.
Read https://wiki.osdev.org/Languages#But_I_heard_of_an_OS_written_in_language_XYZ.2C_isn.27t_it_interpreted.3F to find out this project is a Red Herring. You won't be doing this!

Unless you have access to a hardware Python interpreter, you're not going to use Python to build an operating system.
And even if you have, you're unlikely to succeed due to the limitations of Python when it comes to low level system operations.
